TweakTown has posted a review on the Abit BD7-RAID Motherboard.

The Intel Pentium 4 has been a competitor ever since it's birth, but with the high cost of RDRAM, it just wasn't feasible for the majority of us. With Intel's recent release of the i845D chipset, however, that concept may be subject to change.

As such, the P4 will be slightly handicapped as we all know it performs its' absolute best with the i850 chipset and RDRAM. However, RDRAM is not exactly popular with consumers, and so DDRAM is quickly gaining market supremacy. Conversely, we will not be testing the XP200+ against a SDRAM based P4 system because that really wouldn't be much of comparison would it?

Because this chip is merely an upgrade to a currently existing platform, the words will be short and the benchmarks will be plentiful -- just don't expect wildly outrageous and/or revolutionary scores.
